This dress was amazing at my outdoor mountaintop garden wedding. I was looking for a mix between elegant Victorian and earthy bohemian, and this was everything I dreamed of. The lace on this dress is breathtaking, and I hope it can make someone else feel as beautiful as I did! It was comfortable, light, flowy and didn't get hot. It has a fitted undersheath with a built in bra and an outer lace sheath fitted at the bust and waist but flowy from the hips down. As I only had time for one fitting before my wedding, it's not as fitted on the waist as I would have liked, but you can alter it to perfection!
From the Yolan Cris website: "Boho Chic BRIDE: This is definitely our lace dreamdress! Dress with V neck, with floral shaped appliqués in silk guipure, fitted until waist that will enhance your silhouette, with a mix of laces and delicate chantilly." It has 5 different types of handmade lace -- a V-neck front and back edged with delicate scalloped lace, a bodice with several layers of overlapping lace replete with crystal buttons and silk floral apliqués, and a gorgeous skirt and train with 3 types of floral lace made exclusively for the designer. It is elegant, classic, and bohemian all at once!
I'm happy to answer any questions, send additional photos, or chat via phone or Skype. Just let me know! If you're in the area, I'm also happy to have you come check out the dress in person. My current location is Eugene, OR.
